SHOULD BE OPPOSED.

MAYOR TRULLISGER is circulating a
petition to our Pacific coast delega-
ton in congress which, in our Iudg-
ment, should receive the signature OF
every man In Oregon and Washing
ton. It asks our congressman to use
their efforts against any proposed dis
turbance of the existing tariff on coal
and lumber. To do away with the
duty on coal and lumber entering the
Columbia from foreign ports would be
to strike blow at two of our most I'M
portant industries, and would tend to
build up our foreign commercial
rivals at our own expense. It's some
thing that doesn't need word Of af-
firmative argument. To remove the
tax on coal and lumber from British
Columbia, would be to paralyze the
growth and development of the north
west.
We have the same right to protec-
ton as the manufacturers Of New York
and Pennsylvania and Massachusetts,,
and protection to our northwest Pa
cifc coast interests demands that
there be no tinkering with the tariff
on coal and lumber.
The surplus can be got rid of some
other way. Take off the revenue tax
on tobacco and sugar; diminish the
odious internal revenue receipts but
continue to protect our American
manufacturers. In the meantime our
readers viii be acting for their OWL
interests, individually and collectively,
in signing the petition to our con-
gressmen and senators asking their eff
forts to prevent the proposed removal
Of the present duty on coal and lum-

THE CITY ELECTION.

Born conventions have met and
done their work. The presumption is
that each convention put on their
ticket what in their judgment were
the best and ablest candidates for the
several offices. 1t Is for the voters
next Wednesday to express their pref
erence. The selection calls on the
part of each individual voter for the
same business judgement, the same
question as to honesty and ability that
would arise in the mind OF man In
selecting his business representative.
In city and county matters there Is
naturally considerable relaxation of
party lines. Men ask more as to a
mans personal fitness than as to
what ticket he is on. The matter OF
personal friendship has good deal
10 do with il too. A man will hesitate
a long time before he will vote against
a personal friend, or one that he feels
kindly to.
Aside from this the necessities OF
the city make a very plain case. The
city's needs are manifest, and the best
way to help all who form an inter,
dependent community is to take nc
chances, but vote for men who are
known to be able in every way to fill
the offices with due regard to the
credit and safety of the city.

NEw YORK, Dec. 5.-J. Manchester

ticular friend of Mr.. Blaine, while OIL. as

"Is Mr.. Blaine candidate for reno -

81 don't think he would decline the re-
nomination, but he is not in a position to
make fight for it. Mr.. Blaine made the
contest for the nomination in 1876 and
in 1880. In 1884 he was again a candi'
date and won, but was defeated at the
polls. he feels that if he runs again the
nomination must come to him without q
struggle. / have no doubt that Blaine
would feel highly complimented to re-
ceive the unanimous nomination of the
Republican convention next year. II
would be an expression by the party that
our defeat in 1854 was due to other causes
and not to Mr.. Blaine. If any man car
be suggested who will draw the Prohibi
tion, Irish, Labor, Mugwump and Anti
Chinese vote, have no doubt the con
vention will nominate him unanimously
But can such q man be foundT
"If not, then we should take MAJ

Pacific coast states and he could un
doubtedly carry them all. There are
great many questions to be considered II

best interests of the party"
''Have you seen the published state

make a triumphant march across IN

''Yes, but l don't believe it. i thinl
Mr.. Blaine will return home before June
but l have no idea that he will com

OF the American people to listen to Sc

their increasing tendency to iocosity

ABOUT BABBLING.

In that charming retreat of friend
ship over the sea, in one of the rooms
OF the Beefsteak Club, in London,
there is window upon which the fol-
lowing lines flame out, as it were, in
brilliant cathedral glass colorings:
Let no one take beyond this threshold
hence
Words uttered here in friendships
confidence.
Surely there could be no more ap-
propriate place for such a sentiment
than that room, or any room where
friends give reins to instincts of COM
panionship under the indefnable
spell of hospitality!
Good takers are sometimes danger
Gus acquaintance, inasmuch as not
being able to overcome the gratifca-
ton Of their vanity in being confded
in, nor the fascination OF being first
to tell startling bit of news, they SOW
broadcast what never should have
reached the light.
1t is not always the magnitude of
the offense, nor even its consequences,
that stamps the act of 'babbling," but
the objectionable motive; for the only
breach of trust that is punished as il
should he is fhe BETRAYAL of political
or war secrets; the social sieve who
passes his friends confidence to 9th.

who reveals the countersign. The

The island of Jamaica is suffering in
consequence of the withdrawal Of large
numbers of its laboring population, who
have been tempted TO the isthmus by the
offer of high wages, and are digging the
Panama canal During the years from
January, 1883, to january, 1886, about
81, 900 such laborers left for the isthmus.
It is estimated that 5000 have returned,
and that with those who have gone out
The present year as many as q, 900 are
still absent. The immediate effect upon
the condition of Jamaica has been to raise
wages until it is with great difficulty that
she planters carry on their sugar bust
ncss, and, at the present price of that
article, many of them are contemplating
suspending operations to avoid loss. The
negro laborers who have returned are re-
ported to have quite generally saved their
earnings, which some of them place in
banks of deposit, while others are buying
land, hopeful indication for the future of
the race. boston Transcript.

The alarming disease of this
country is nervous debility and
prostrstion. 1t goes under
many names but it is essen
tally the same complaint.
Hospitals and private institu-
tons for nervous patients are
crowded. The average of life
in the United States is de-
creasing every year. Sudden
deaths from nervous collapse
among our business, profess
ional and public men are so
frequent as scarcely to excite
remark. The majority of sui
cides, committed without ap-
parent reason, or under so-called
depression of spirits" are
really prompted by nervous
prostration, which is a fruitful
source of insanity and crime
with all their grief and horror.
These facts are startling.
They threaten the very life Of
the nation. They assail the
springs of its power and pros
perity. They wreck manhood's
strength and woman's useful.
ness and beauty.
Every one should know the
causes. What arc theya The
answer is easy and terribly
plain: Our vicious personal
habits; our careless and lawless
eating and drinking; the In
tense mental and physical strain
arising from our mad race after
money, position and influence;
the fears and struggles of pow
erty; the use Of narcotics and
stimulants; our fashion of
turning day into night and
night into day; and, briefly,
our desperate willingness to
pay any price for an hours
pleasure or success. So we
burn life's candle at both ends
and fill the lunatic asylums
and the graveyards.
